Question:
Hubby ruptured his bicep tendon. doc thinks surgery is unnecessary...?
however, he works with molds weighing up to 800 lbs, and we are concerned about the long term effects of not fixing this surgically. Can someone give us some clear answers? All the dr's say is to repair it is more of a cosmetic issue.
Answers:
I know a guy who did the same thing. He was a big strong guy who was very into weightlifting. He was rolling a bowling ball and tore 10% of his bicep cat the elbow. The doctors said there wasn't really anything they could do for surgery that would improve function. Long after it healed he actually tore it again.
What I'm really saying is that I think that what the doctors are saying is relatively standard advice and that your husband might have to consider another career for the long term safety of his arm.
